The second and final album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths, piano, flute, saxophones and bassoon.
The band album debuted in 1976 with European Spassvogel. A pretty good jazz album.
We get more of the same on their second and final album....This album.
That means dense jazz with some avant-garde and fusion influences.
The music is not particular melodic. It still has a nice drive and mid-tempo. There are some good semi-accoustic guitars here and some good synths solos. The woodwinds is also adding some solos and pieces of music.
The balance between the guitars, woodwinds and synths are good throughout.
There is no great pieces of music here and the music is not particular original. The band simply did not write and record enough good music to really stand out from the crowd. This is another decent to good album where they really needed a great album to really get a break through.
Hence, these two albums are pretty obscure but still worth checking out if jazz is your cup of tea.
